I don't think this is gonna work!

NO NO NO!!! Bettas are carnivores!!! They can't eat plant roots. Yours may have died because it went without food for so long and then got a lot at once.

Those vases are VERY unsafe for bettas, as the roots can actually cut off their oxygen supply if they get too plentiful. Keep the roots trimmed so that the fish can come to the surface to breathe.

CUTE pictures! I'm glad mister fishy survived the night!

It turned out to be a real pain to keep clean etc. Sorry to say I wasnt sad to see the fish die, I'm not a fish lover.
I've had the plant for 8 years in the water. Hubby got me the fish/plant for our 1st anniversary.

Funny pics!!!
My RB-Sydney loved to "go fishing" too


This fish was staying with us, while his humans (our neighbours) were on vacation!! We had to put it in my daughter's bedroom, as Sydney didn't give up fishing one second

I just wanted everyone to know that Mr. Betta is still alive and well. Funny thing is that 3 other people who bought Bettas the same night had to return theirs because they died! and mine is living quite well despite feline intervention! Actually, they completely ignore him now, its no longer exciting

Maybe it's all the exercise Mr. Betta is getting...

I thought beta fish had to have a plant in the water so they could survive (food)? Have a plant and it's roots in the vase the furry kids wouldnt see the fish right away but the plant and might leave it alone.

That is a big myth and actually will end up killing the betta since Bettas are carnivorous and not omnivorous at all

They CAN, however, live in a vase with a plant so long as the plant does not cover the entire surface of the water because Bettas are surface breathers

Looks like Mr.Betta is going to do fine in your home We had fish in a big tank when we lived in Ma. and the cats didn't even look at it after a while.

Suggest you buy the fish a guard dog
